Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Mazrim]

Regarding Heskey.

He was a man mountain in keeping possession up top when Villa attacked, he scored a fair few goals and he was also a big voice in the dressing room too.

There, edited.

Could do worse

Chelsea are set to release both Salomon Kalou and Jose Bosingwa when their contracts expire in the summer.

[PaulTheVillan]

Really doubt we'll be signing anyone until we get a manager. Might as well lock this thread ;-)

[Concrete John]

Bosingwa was heavily linked to us early in the  MON era.

Totally agree mate, and Essien apparently. We'd never pay the wages.....

[Concrete John]

Now Essien I'd take in a heart best - awsome player!

[Mazrim]

They're releasing Essien?

[Concrete John]

Right, I'm sold - AVB as manager and Essien on a Bosman!!!

[boboonthecorner]

They're expected to release Essien and Ferreira as well.

[Mazrim]

Essien will have plenty of suitors I'm sure but what a signing he'd be. Him and Frimpong in the middle would do nicely.

[James]

It's Bosingwa and Kalou, I think, but Essien isn't half the player he was before the injury!

[David_Nab]

Essian is also being released

[hartman_1982]

Essien has another year left. There is no way they would let him leave on a free. With an injury free pre season, he is a hell of a player!

[Concrete John]

Injuries and 12 months left = cheap transfer fee.

But his wages would be the issue.

[timeoutbigbar]

Essien will go to a CL club who pay decent wages abroad.
